CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional PatentApplication No. 62/453,508, filed Feb. 2, 2017 and entitled “DISPOSABLECUT RESISTANT GLOVE,” the entire disclosure of which is incorporatedherein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present general inventive concept relates generally to a glove, andspecifically, to a disposable cut resistant glove.

2. Description of the Related Art

One of the biggest hazards when cooking for the average person, or evena professional chef, is cutting themselves when preparing food. Itdoesn't matter how much experience someone has in the kitchen, nicks andcuts are bound to happen.

Therefore, there is a need for a device to protect user's fingers duringfood preparation.

Also, there is a need for a disposable cut resistant glove that preventsa person from being cut with cooking utensils while preparing food.

Moreover, there is a need for an inexpensive solution to preventinginjury due to knife-cuts while cooking.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present general inventive concept is directed to a disposable cutresistant glove.

Additional features and utilities of the present general inventiveconcept will be set forth in part in the description which follows and,in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned bypractice of the general inventive concept.

The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present generalinventive concept may be achieved by providing a disposable cutresistant glove, including a body, a plurality of fingers attached tothe body, a thumb attached to the body, and a plurality of strips ofpara-aramid synthetic fiber disposed over and around the plurality offingers and the thumb.

The strips of para-aramid synthetic fiber may be glued on the fingersand the thumb of the disposable cut resistant glove.

The base disposable cut resistant glove may be made of at least one ofplastic, latex, rubber, and cloth.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

These and/or other features and utilities of the present generallyinventive concept will become apparent and more readily appreciated fromthe following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction withthe accompanying drawings of which:

FIG. 1 illustrates a first overhead view of a disposable cut resistantglove, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present generalinventive concept; and

FIG. 2 illustrates a second overhead view of a disposable cut resistantglove, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present generalinventive concept.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Various example embodiments (a.k.a., exemplary embodiments) will now bedescribed more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings inwhich some example embodiments are illustrated. In the figures, thethicknesses of lines, layers and/or regions may be exaggerated forclarity.

Accordingly, while example embodiments are capable of variousmodifications and alternative forms, embodiments thereof are shown byway of example in the figures and will herein be described in detail. Itshould be understood, however, that there is no intent to limit exampleembodiments to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary,example embodiments are to cover all modifications, equivalents, andalternatives falling within the scope of the disclosure. Like numbersrefer to like/similar elements throughout the detailed description.

It is understood that when an element is referred to as being“connected” or “coupled” to another element, it can be directlyconnected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may bepresent. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directlyconnected” or “directly coupled” to another element, there are nointervening elements present. Other words used to describe therelationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion(e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directlyadjacent,” etc.).

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particularembodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of exampleembodiments. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” areintended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearlyindicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms“comprises,” “comprising,” “includes” and/or “including,” when usedherein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps,operations, elements and/or components, but do not preclude the presenceor addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations,elements, components and/or groups thereof.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientificterms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by oneof ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. Itwill be further understood that terms, e.g., those defined in commonlyused dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that isconsistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art.However, should the present disclosure give a specific meaning to a termdeviating from a meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill,this meaning is to be taken into account in the specific context thisdefinition is given herein.

FIG. 1 illustrates a first overhead view of a disposable cut resistantglove 100, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present generalinventive concept. This view illustrates a back-hand-portion of thedisposable cut resistant glove 100.

The disposable cut resistant glove 100 may include a disposable cutresistant glove 110 that may be made from plastic, latex, rubber, cloth,or other suitable material known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

FIG. 2 illustrates a second overhead view of the disposable cutresistant glove 100, according to an exemplary embodiment of the presentgeneral inventive concept. This view illustrates a palm-portion of thedisposable cut resistant glove 100.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the disposable cut resistant glove 100 mayinclude a body 101, a plurality of fingers 130, and a thumb 140. Here,the plurality of fingers 130 and the thumb 140 are not human fingers,but finger and thumb extensions of the disposable cut resistant glove100.

The disposable cut resistant glove 100 may include strips of para-aramidsynthetic fiber or KEVLAR® tape 120 or other suitable material. Thestrips of KEVLAR® tape 120 may be disposed over and around the pluralityof fingers 130 and the thumb 140 of the disposable cut resistant glove110. The strips of KEVLAR® tape 120 may be glued (i.e., adhered) on thefingers 130 and the thumb 140 of the base disposable cut resistant glove110, or may be attached to the fingers 130 during manufacturing of thedisposable cut resistant glove 100.

The disposable cut resistant glove 100 may be designed to preventaccidents by protecting anyone who is utilizing sharp knives or utensilsto prepare food. The disposable cut resistant glove 100 may includestrips of KEVLAR® tape 120 for extra protection. Utilizing adhesive toadhere the strips of KEVLAR® tape 120 onto the disposable cut resistantglove 110, the disposable cut resistant gloves 100 are perfect to use athome or in restaurants particularly by chefs and/or culinary enthusiastswho cook daily. The disposable cut resistant gloves 100 may be readilyavailable at household supply stores such as well-known multichannelretailers or TARGET® or WAL-MART® or any other suitable retailer.

Although a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept havebeen shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in theart that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing fromthe principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope ofwhich is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
